This guide has been developed to support all employers, be they large or small for-profit companies, nonprofit organizations or government groups. It reviews the benefits of having an EAP, lists what to look for and to consider when choosing an EAP provider, cites ways to evaluate your current EAP, and discusses how to get the most out of your selected programs. It highlights the need for and offers tools for the organization or company to interact more with the EAP to get a full and robust program in return. Additionally, the appendices provide very useful resources for both the employer organization and the EAP provider and professionals—external links and websites, a sample request for proposal, a sample audit, a glossary of terms, as well as many references to the primary research and thought in the field.
